K3 process is lagging...

[chris&o 0]

while looking thru the K1 timeline database i noticed that ALL of the service centers have posted appovals since 05 March 2006 (albiet Nebraska looks like only one or two). All except Missouri. We've seen a lot of double or duplicate emails from them, repeated RFE's for the same thing to some people, and borderline incoherent instructions for us to decypher at our peril.

I think i may have figured out what's going on: They've been partying like animals over there since stopping work last 05 March, and they haven't sobered up yet...

To counteract this unfortunate event, we should immediately send them tons of fresh coffee and aspirin. I'll bet we see a dramatic improvement in processing numbers (given, it's not very difficult to improve from zero) once they brew the first pot.

NBC (Need Black Coffee)

joking aside, i predict first round of lucky K3 approvals next week....

now, I shall try the subliminal approach:

Obviously, you haven't heard about Diversion Day. It's the best kept secret about the immigration process, and something government employees have known for years: Fun and games will keep you sane!

It starts with playing hookey, going to a museum or park, eating a Chinese Lupper (late lunch or early supper) and watching Napoleon Dynamite. That's the movie that proves the American Dream is still possible, even for geeks and illegals.

So stop driving yourself loony trying to predict the future based on patterns in bird droppings, and give yourself one helluva Diversion Day. (report back)

With Misouri screwing up like this is there anyone we can contact about it?

Whe I begun this process I figured the I129F would be faster than the I130, but right know who can tell. I fell so sorry for those of you out there waitng for more time than I have.

chris&o, you're probably still passed out, but when you wake up, and brush the sand out of your nether regions, tell me what you think about making Diversion Day a weekly event. You know, having regularly scheduled mindless fun with people who are sympathetic to our insanity.

The beer, though, needs to be limited, since alcohol is a depressent and we're all flirting with that already. I was thinking about branching out into chocolate fudge cake but was too lazy to go to the store. I consider this evidence my Guardian Angel hasn't given notice yet.

Humor is the only medicine that will save our asses, bony, Brazilian, and otherwise. So let's be clowns. Let's laugh at ourselves because we are ridiculous, spending our days being wildly indignant over doube-letter clerical errors for which no one is responsible and no heads will roll.

We all met through the miracle of the Internet and have forgotten to be grateful for friends. The kind who understand our plight. The kind who'll give you a shoulder to cry on. The kind who'll buy you a beer when you need one. chris&o, you don't need one. You've had too many already. So quick like a bunny, Fed Ex me what's left in that case of Heiniken.

The Pickle , The pickle , you forgot to send him eat the pickle Jersey_Girl

Guys , I was in the same stage (Still there) of waiting and waiting for a quick and positive response from NBC , I even ended up in the hospital with chest pain due to stress . The only thing I advice is "be patient".

Good luck

...aaaaahhh my head still hurts. i think i diverted half of my brain cells (that would be about 5...)..

sorry, theres nothing left to send. unfortunately, those poor beers didn't stand a chance.

hey, it worked though. Now my two day headache is diverting me from thinking about visa woes.
